Saturday Morning: Me And Bernie

“Sure hope more scoring starts happening,” Bernie says. “One to one and zero to zero aren’t my idea of entertainment.” Were we talking about soccer? Not my favorite: the ball is just about impossible for me. The only way to manage it is to bite a hole or two in it first; after that it shrinks down to manageable size. But the taste doesn’t compare with a football, for example, and baseballs are still the most interesting, with all that stuff inside.

“Also,” Bernie says, “what do you think ‘xinay on the intay uturesfay’ means? I saw that in the down below part. What a minute! I think I’ve got it!”

What? What? All of a sudden I’m really excited!

Re Free Iggy: go to the Chet Appreciation Society on Facebook (see above), click on Discussions, and there it is.

Maybe if we hide in a corner somewhere here, B Stover, like under the cover pictures of the books at the bottom, he'll forget about you know what. . .

Soccer: both of my guys liked it. OTAS liked it because you could play with your hands in your pockets and that why he could remain "cool." YSAS liked it because of the constant movement. I remember PELE from growing up. That was some great scoring. The one where he'd kick it over his head and score?? Fantastic.

I helped the guys with soccer, when OTAS moved onto baseball he soon outpaced me and YSAS and ice hockey? Yea, these ankles weren't made for skating!

What a nice surprise!! A huge picture of Audrey!! We love it and she is beautiful! I hope she notices that Wookie left her a nice message. uh, no, I don't want to be like Audrey, but I am glad she is enjoying the beach…shudder

SiberH and Rio. I think the Rockies won, with the game called after 6 innings. Win number 12 for Jimenez (he's the first pitcher to that that many this year)– he's off to a great start. Although we have a guy here in Washington now pitching for the Nationals who may give him a run for his money by the end of the year –Stephen Strasburg, who struck out 14 in 7 innings on Tuesday in his first ever major league start. How about that! Wookie

Audrey!… It looks like she likes to eat sand!… heh!… Her tail looks just like a Newfie tail…snort!… She has got to be part Newf…cute!…Maybe she was playing a game of fetch with Spencer…grunt!… I wonder how far that little man can throw a ball? …hmmm?

Rio and SH: I just posted a reply to the discussion of Iggy on Facebook. Before that, the last post was April 17. Spence was replying to some ideas that had been posed regarding including Iggy more. (I mainly said that the chemistry of the Chet and Bernie team should not be changed.) However, I'll cut and paste it here if you want me to.

That is the coolest pic of Audrey!! I'm sure she was posing for Wookie. SiberH…how's getting rid of the powder puff smell going? We were very shocked to read that your mom actually took you to a (shudder) GROOMER!!

Alot going on here so we've only been able to catch up on some of the comments. Glad the pups are doing well. Can't wait to see more pictures of them.

Thank you Stover..I would like for you to post it here. Rio and I have a strange reaction to facebook. I can't explain it. I agree with you that the chemistry of Chet and Bernie shouldn't be changed. Iggy just needs more of a life. There are a lot of Iggys in this world.

Me too, I hope Wolfie and his family are okay, and that he'll be back with us soon.

Gus and BooBear, Thanks for thinking of me. I am slowly returning to normal. Oh boy, I was just as shocked as you guys. I am willing to admit one thing…with all the hair that the groomer got out, I am cooler.

Everyone seems to keep wanting to change the chemistry. I think that that would be a mistake. Chet and Bernie are an excellent team. Period. Iggy should be able to run outside more….in the desert possibly with Chet…but he can't be part of the main storyline it seems to me. That's why I'm pondering the problem of the "new situation with Leda." She should reman "ex-wife" but possibly adding a bit of tension now and then. And Suzie should remain "girlfriend" who helps out sometime. Something that works well shouldn't be added to. (There….I guess I feel better. And I'm probably writing this just to irritate Rio on the blog.)

Rio: I think I'm most often in a good mood. Also, I can't believe that I'm watching World Cup soccer on tv. ("Watching" is not really accurate.) My niece and nephew both played and love soccer. I used to play it in my youth…not on a team but for fun.

Storm!… There is a break in the rain, so we are going to race to the grocery store and get me some food….gruff!….I ate the last bit of kibble this morning…yeep!… I am all out of treats too! Don’t forget the TREATS dammit!…snort!

Just finished the Sherlock Holmes movie. It was really an enjoyable "watch" (just kidding you guys). Loved the start-stop filming of action scenes, whatever that technique is called. Very entertaining, but I agree with you Rio, sometimes it was hard to understand what they were saying, expecially Robert Downey, Jr. In the restaurant scene, when he was making observations about Mary, we missed almost everything he said. Other than the fact that she had been previously engaged. Jude Law was much easier to understand. B was right about the last 3 words – Clarkey, case reopened.

Holy Crap!… That was a big fat waste of time!… snort!… It was not raining when we left our home, but as we got closer to the grocery store the rain kept coming down harder and harder until it was a full blown torrent of rain…grunt! … She said, “To hell with it” and right then some hail started coming at us!….crap!… She turned the car around and now we are back home with no groceries at all…wheeze!….What ever will I do?????

Audrey might be a flat coated retriever. Hard to tell when dogs are wet. Also she could be a very good looking Heinz 57. Wet? She has a lot of Newfoundland qualities.

Almost lost one of the pups last night. Here's Zoë's take on it . . .

I think all of them will make it, altho last night I got really scared. I just put half of them down after mom- time and one wouldn't stop crying. I tried everything I could think of at 1:00 AM food, mom, rocking, etc. Then I took her temperature. It was 98.6. It should have been over 100. I have lost two pups to cold in past litters and was very worried. So I put a puppy blanket in the microwave, filled a hot water bottle and cuddled her in bed with me. Gracie was at the foot of the bed, concerned but she cheered me on. Pup stopped crying and slept and awoke warm and squirmy. I am so glad. That's worth losing sleep. She ate well this AM and I think she will be fine.

I found that hot water bottles help the arthritis in my hands better than heating pads. Or maybe it was the puppy!"

Very good news about the Puppy!!! Zoe did good, and I know Grace is relieved and happy. Mom and I know that Melanie, her family, and Grace are doing everything they can to keep those puppies safe and healthy.

Loved the photo of Audrey this morning. Does anyone know what breed (s) she is? Newfie mix, or retriever, maybe Lab mix or Flat Coated Retriever?

Barb? MagPie?… Are you guys having short-term memory problems?…snort!… You already posted that sentiment… grunt!… I’m glad you enjoyed the movie as much as I did!…wheeze!… I can’t wait for the next one to come out!

I don't how that happened! No bourbon or red wine either. We left the computer and came back a few minutes later and the post was still there aso we hit submit again, not realizing it had already gone. Boy, do I feel silly!

Glad the puppy is doing better.

Now it happened again – hit submit, white box was empty, then post reappeared, so we will try again. Hope we don't post twice.

It's a scene with Mary, Watson and Holmes and something about a razor. It's completely different. Holmes has given Watson the diamond ring to give Mary. At the end Holmes is walking the streets of London. Here's the internet site:

Stover!… That ending is so different!…snort!…I am so glad they changed it. They did manage to keep the ring in the story though!…cough!…I was able to make out the words “Clarky” and “Case”, but I could not get the “reopened” part….snuff!!… I’m hungry. I bet I will die tonight…sniff!

Burp!… Well, she finally went out again in the rain and got some burgers and I got some of it too!… snort!… The French fries are wonderful Lexi!…heh!… So I think I might survive the night…grunt!… Rockies are able to play tonight, the mound is dry!… yea!…

Ugh!…Are those some chickens that MagPie ixnayed??…snort!…Where’s the puppy pictures???…grunt!

Oh. My. God. I just got a bath. And now I'm clean. Actually CLEAN. Megan and mommy grab me, shove me in the tub, and they laugh and say, "You look like a wet rat, Lexi." I feel like biting something right now!!! Grr!!

Can't get a group photo yet. They must stay in their crews to make sure feedings are correct! Not sure why Beige is standing up. They actually don't do that for around three weeks. I think while squirming over siblings a foot dangled.

We want to thank you so much Mollypop and Sam. Could you save some of the rain for yourselves? We have a stream on the road.

Nite all, will catch up with all you night owls and westerners in the morning.

Beige!…. Looks like that little guy is standing to me!… snort!… I wish I could send our rain to Siberh. He needs some cooling off, even though it is only 85 out there in New Mexico… grunt!… Its in the forties here….brrr!

Wow! Rio is in paradise (45 degrees) and he is only one state away. I'd even be agreeable to rain if it would cool it to 45 degrees. I'd even be willing to go out and pee in the rain for that temperature.

Lexi, you must not smell very good right now. I find clean dog smell offensive. Go find something to roll in, and you'll be back to normal in no time.

Rain!…. I’ve been pissing in the rain all last night and all day today…snort!… Its not as hard to do as the snow thing, but just as frustrating… grunt!… I have to be toweled off every time I come inside and all my paws have to be wiped clean… growl!… good grief! I won’t need no fussy bath for ages….wheeze!

Hey!…The Rockies win their first 1- 0 game at Coors Field tonight!…Wooo!…In the nick of time too, it was starting to rain in the 9th inning…. boy oh boy!.. I am so hoping that the losing streak is behind them…grunt! … We have to go visit those Twins soon and we will need a lot of confidence to face those guys!….sneeze!

Just thought I better say Hi and Bye cause I spent the day quilting. We sneak back into the quilt store tomorrow for another day of it. I am working on a quilt for (HI sis) Dawson's grandson (and my great nephew) Lots of color and glow in the dark stars.
